The Irish rockabilly/blues singer Imelda May bears this name and it was also the name of Angeline Ball's character in the 1991 film The Commitments. Imelda is quite a popular name in Ireland.

Imelda Marcos, famously corrupt wife of the famously corrupt leader of the Philippines, was renown for her huge shoe collection. If I hear the name Imelda, I immediately think of an evil, spoilt woman with thousands of shoes!
